E-book Category: Fantasy E-book Title: Shard of the Heart Author: Kimberly Ann Young Book Description: The Ealothian Family, a people gifted with a wide variety of psychic powers, has been scattered throughout the galaxy for generations. The Ealothian's powers come from recessive genes that surface randomly in the children of human families in every star system. As the Family has slowly drawn together their influence and power has increased dramatically, but so has the numbers of those who fear and hate them for their psychic skills.
Seeking refuge from the increasingly violent persecution of their detractors the heads of the Family, psychics whose powers are so great they are called wizards by the rest of the Family and all who know them, decide to form an alliance with the Avoyelles Empire.
Avoyelles, an empire on the edge of known space encompassing more than ten star systems, offers the Family what no other place in the galaxy can: a home free from the hatred of those who fear their powers. The Empire boasts a larger percentage of children born with psychic powers than any other sector of human-held space.
